Here is a quick look at what is happening around Tukwila today, from a major health facility overhaul to flood recovery help and weekend activities.

Behavioral health facility modernization moves forward

A $15 million modernization project for the Olympic Heritage Behavioral Health facility on Military Road South in Tukwila has entered the bidding stage. State agencies are seeking contractors now, with bids due later this month and construction expected to begin in late April.

The project will renovate and upgrade the existing medical complex, with the goal of improving patient spaces and bringing building systems up to current standards. Work is scheduled to extend into 2027, which means neighbors can expect a long but important construction period on the site.

Free flood debris drop-off this weekend

Residents still cleaning up after recent regional flooding can take advantage of free debris disposal this weekend. King County Solid Waste is accepting flood debris, including yard waste and household garbage, at several transfer stations on Saturday and Sunday.

For Tukwila, the Bow Lake Recycling and Transfer Station on Orillia Road South is the closest option. The free drop-off runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with normal garbage and recycling hours continuing the rest of the week. Officials encourage people to separate hazardous materials and handle them through specialized programs.

Medication disposal event focuses on safety

The city is also highlighting safe options for getting rid of expired or unwanted medications. An event today promotes Washington’s Safe Medication Return program, which offers secure drop-off kiosks and free mail-back envelopes for household and pet medicines.

Organizers say cleaning out medicine cabinets helps prevent accidental poisonings, misuse, and environmental contamination from drugs that end up in the trash or down the drain. Liquids, inhalers, patches, gels, ointments, pills, and powders are accepted through the program, though needles require separate mail-back supplies.

Around town this weekend

Youth soccer teams from across the state are in town for the Washington Youth Soccer Founders Cup, with matches and finals running through the weekend at the Starfire Sports complex. Expect extra traffic and plenty of families in and around Fort Dent Park.

The Museum of Flight is hosting hands-on weekend family workshops today and Sunday, giving kids a chance to explore science, engineering, and aerospace topics through short activities included with admission.

Over at Westfield Southcenter, shoppers will find Valentine’s promotions, a Lunar New Year sweepstakes wrapping up, and special brand collaborations, so the mall is likely to be busy throughout the evening.
